The authors examine the multifaceted realities of gendered life in varying contexts across the globe. Bringing together different perspectives, the volume provides a \u003ci\u003erereading of the social fabric of gender \u003c\/i\u003ein contrast to androcentrist-modernist as well as orientalist representations of 'the' gendered \u003ci\u003eOther\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe key questions explored by this volume are: which social mechanisms lead to conflicting or shifting gender dynamics against the backdrop of global entanglements and interdependencies, and to what extent are neocolonial gender regimes at work in this regard? How are varying gender cultures sociohistorically and culturally structured, and how are they connected within (global) power relations? How can established hierarchies and asymmetries become an object of criticism? How can historical, cultural, social, and political specificities be analysed without gendered and other reifications? That way, the volume aims to promote border thinking in sociological understanding of social reality towards \u003ci\u003emultiple gender cultures \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eplural modernities.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeidemarie Winkel is Professor of Sociology at Bielefeld University and Senior Research Associate at St. Edmund's College, University of Cambridge.
